Yup, native res will look better than forcing the lcd to scale an image.

what happend if you use:

seta r_customwidth "1024"
seta r_customheight "768"
seta r_mode "-1"


Have a LCD, and that LCD decided "you my man are gonna use r_mode 8 (1280x1024) whether you like it or not!

Don't ever use anythingelse than "r_mode -1" with a widescreen monitor.

Whether you can try this:

r_mode -1
r_customaspect 3
r_customwidth 1440
r_customheigth 900


or you stick to your present reso.

Gaming on a TFT is crap compared to a CRT.

Using the native resolution of the monitor usually gives the best result, but some monitors will run at 70 Hz @ lower resolutions (mine does, but I still prefer 1680*1050).

Capping @ 76 FPS for some reason looks horrible on my TFT compared to my CRT, but 125 FPS is acceptable. It also looks good with r_swapinterval 1, but that feels too sluggish for me.

I'm not too much into that hardware-cfg stuff, so I've got a question aswell:

i'm using a 22" widescreen & r_mode 4.

Trying r_mode 6 or 8 gives me horrible fps.

So, what exactly does r_mode -1 do? Are there any other settings I should adjust to the monitor? And could someone explain me the relation fps-hz-swapinterval-r_customheight in a few words so a noob might understand them? :< Thanks in advance.
